From time to time he is overwhelmed by an urge to abandon his business and devote his life to probing into the mysteries of the universe. He is an accidental businessman, regretting of not being a scientist. His soul is longing for perfection in all aspects of his life. He felt only that she has become a mystical point of convergence of all his memories, desires and hopes, a focal point without which his life would not have any style, and even any sense. Wokulski would not call his feelings love, and he was not even sure whether there was a word in any language for such feelings. Philosophically speaking, Wokulski wants to be elevated from the world of Becoming which is the sphere of accidents and circumstances to the perfect world of Being. When Wokulski is with Izabela, he feels being transported outside of space and time. The novel has a social side – Stanislaw Wokulski is a bourgeois and a nouveau riche while Izabela Lecka is an aristocratic woman.
The action of the novel takes place in the Russian-controlled Poland in the 1870s at a junction of Romanticism and Polish Positivism and, correspondingly, the protagonist displays Romantic characteristics while being a man of business.

He persists for years with pursuing her although in the depths of his heart he knows that she is not worthy of him and that it all will end badly.
